Aspivix has revealed that its Carevix device has received
approval from the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
for use across the United Kingdom. According to Aspivix, this achievement
represents a crucial milestone for the company and highlights its dedication to
'modernising gynecology' as part of its mission, 'Gynecology. Now Modern.' The
company asserts that Carevix aims to 'set new standards' in gynecological care,
enhancing comfort and empowerment for both patients and healthcare
professionals in transcervical procedures, including IUD/coil insertions, and
applications in gynecology, oncology, and fertility.
Mathieu Horras, CEO & Co-Founder of Aspivix, said in a
statement, "Receiving MHRA approval is not just an achievement for Aspivix
but a victory for women's healthcare globally. This endorsement allows us to
bring Carevix to the UK market, further expanding our reach and impact on
women's health. With existing FDA approval for the US and CE Mark for Europe,
we are poised to make significant advancements in gynecological care."
Aspivix is committed to enhancing women's experiences by
prioritizing minimally invasive and patient-centered approaches. Their goal is
to reduce the pain and bleeding commonly linked with gynecological
transcervical procedures, including coil fittings, hysteroscopies, and
endometrial biopsies. Women can now access the Carevix device at Peterborough
City Hospital, part of the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.
Dr. Lukasz Polanski, an esteemed member of the Royal College
of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, mentioned, “Carevix looks like an
excellent product and our team at Peterborough City Hospital is very happy to
join the program. I’m sure the patients would love it.”
Peterborough City Hospital has now been designated as the
17th center of excellence to join the Carevix Ambassador Program. This
initiative enables OB-GYNs, midwives, and nurses across various
countries—including the US, Brazil, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, and
Italy—to incorporate Carevix into their routine gynecological practices.
Aspivix reports that more than 600 patients globally have already experienced
the benefits of Carevix through this program.
